Hello my fellow colony members! Have you been in the colonies for a long time? Have you been wearing the same clothes for months? Come visit my tailor shop for a new set of shirt and britches! Women, come in and get a new Sunday dress! New dresses are only 6 pences. Don't have any money? What do you have to trade with me?

My life is not as hard as others. I spend my days measuring, dyeing, cutting and stitching. I get to spend the majority of my days indoors. What is your life like? ]]>Fri, 20 Nov 2015 16:45:06 GMThttp://iclm.juliancharterschool.org/5th-grade-colonial-village-blog/1123-or-1124-or-1125Monday 11/23 or 11/24 or 11/25 (choose 1 day to blog… not all three)Interact with others in our colony!

EXAMPLEHello 5th Grade Colonial Village! Since all of you will hopefully visit my store in the future, let me tell you about my trade and what we sell. When coming to the Colonies, we brought lots of colorful fabric with us. However, soon I will need to order more fabric from England or possibly there will be a weaver in the village soon! The sheep we brought with us to the Colonies will produced fine wool. for dyeing. Today we are searching for raspberries to dye our fabric. So far we have use lichens, berries, roots, nuts and their hulls, flowers, foliage, marigolds, zinnias, carrots, asparagus plants, poplar, rhododendron, mountain laurel, privet, barks,dandelions, goldenrock, black-eyed Susan, and sumac can also be used. Ground coffee beans, tea leaved, onion skins, and dried saffron are a few natural dyes found in the kitchen. Here is how we make dye - prepare the plant material by cleaning and chopping roots, scraping stems and crushing leaves of flowers and and nuts. Soak the prepared materials overnight. After soaking, boil until the dye has reached the desired shade (1/2 to 6 hours). It works best for us if we use a metal pot for the dyeing, possibly I will need to visit the tinsmith soon to order a pot. ]]>Sat, 07 Nov 2015 04:38:21 GMThttp://iclm.juliancharterschool.org/5th-grade-colonial-village-blog/friday-november-6thTASK​Introduce yourself to our “colony”

Trade

Family – brothers, sisters, parents…

Heritage – Where did you come from?

Why did you come to the colonies?

EXAMPLE Hello, my name is Suzie Smith and I am 16 years old. My family and I arrived to this colony last month and we don't know anyone yet. I am homesick for my home country of Ireland. I miss the friends I left behind and my grandparents. I really miss the Corned Beef and Cabbage by Grandma would make each Friday. I wonder if I will ever see them again. Today we are setting up my dad's Tailor shop. He is a wonderful suit maker and my mom makes beautiful dresses, they are teaching me how to sew and design clothing. My younger sister isn't really interested in sewing, she prefers to play with her dolls and to help with the gardening. I am hopeful we will be able to make a better life here in the colonies! ]]>
